Read the speech of Senator Harrison in our supplement to-day.

Who said we have no Navy? The President is visiting the sea shore in the Dispatch, the.Secretary of the Navy has sailed into Boston harbor on the Tallapoosa, and Secretary Folger has just^landed in New York on the Grant.

Gov. Cornell has been forced by the clamor of the press to make a statement of the stock spectral ion in which lie. was charged with duplicity and of Jiis vetoes of certain bills about which ihere were rumors of interested molives. His statement satisfies the New York Times, but' is denounced as a confession of guilt by the Herald, World, Sun, Evening Post and Com•mercial Advertiser. The Tribune has jiot a word to say editorially on the isubject. The indications are that the ^Governor's chances for renomination mre lost.

A story is told, says an exchange, of an Irish dragoon who was killed in the war of the Peninsula. "iTis arm was scut ofl' and lie was bleeding to death. •When told he could not live he called for a large silver gobjet, out of which lie UHiially drank claret. He held it to tlie gushing artery and filled it to the brina with blood. Looking -at it for a moment lie turned it slowly on the ground, muttering to himself: 'If that liad been for Ireland!' and expired." Kngland will live to learn that, the subjects of her vast Kingdom are not cemented by any national sentiments of love, and it will, in the end,J prove lier greatest misfortune to have ardent enemies in the rear.

Luther Benson, on second thought, decides that he does not care to be crushed under the wheels of Tom jBrowne in the Sixth District. He has (declined the Democratic nomination with thanks. In this Luther lias Lhown great consideration for his own peacc of mind. In declining by letter to the Indianapolis Sentinel he 3ays:

I believe that Jeffersonlan Domoeraey means and teaches that the people have a right, by their ilircct and Individual i-ot«s, to say whether they are for or against any nnjasuro that affects their interest. I am glad that I can have tho indorsement and approval .of such distinguished Democrats as Hon. Jere Black Hon. B. tiratz Brown and hundreds and thousands of others as my companipnsln the views I entertain. I am not candldate for any office, and will give all I am and have to the causo of temperance.

The intelligent reader will observe the fine quality of sarcasm in Luther's renrarkfl. In withdrawing from the race he has the endorsement .of such "distinguished Democrats" as Jere Black and B. Gratz Brown. A man who believes in the unlimited sway of cold water, sees the utter humbug of going into a canvass as standard lear61" for a party that handicaps him from (the Jump by declaring against Proliibition AAid shackling the popular will. If Luther issues a few more such manifestoes he will be taken into the Wise

BEN ATOK HABBISOK.

If we understand arig~htr til®1issue that confronts the voters of Indiana at the coining election, and we modestly believe we do, the most prominent are the plank about submission of_ the temperance question to tKe "popular votes, and the agitation of the tariff. Nothing else can enter into the canvass, as issues of commanding importance. A. fight over t,he- revenue is out of the question. Equally

soj.is

This being tiie state of the canvass, there will be curiosity in all ranks to learn what can be said by Senator Harrison. He' Bounded the key-note last night at Indianapolis before crowded audience, composed of the most intelligent people at the capital. His effort was worthy of him It is the work of a matured and mas-, terly legal mind. He properly opens with the absorbing problems now be fore the public of Indiana. In viewing the Democratic juggle of a platform, he finely refers to the "two-faced" image set before Democratic voters'for their worship. One face is a skillful piece of workmanship, in that it favors submission to the people. "But now," says the Senator, "the other face of this political image—that looking toward the Liquor Dealers' Association—is to be set up. The apparently fair and honest declaration for submission is qualified as follows: 'According to the provisions of the Constitution for its own amendment.'.' That is we are in favor of submitting it to a vote of the people if the next Legislature agrees to pass it on to the people. What a neat and yet transparent dodge. If the next Legislature agrees to submit the amendment to a popular vote, it is then of small consequence whether the Democratic party is in favor of or opposed to submission. The demand of the Liquor-dealers' Association was that the amendment be killed in the next Legislature—the demand of the submissionists Avas that the Legislature pass the amendment on to a popular vote. Which side of this question does this platform take If Mr. Hendricks were a member of the next Legisiature, and had sufficient respect for his own platform to make it the guide of his action as a legislator, would he feel himself bound to vote for or against submission of the amendment to a popular vote? I fancy, if he governed his action strictly by the platform, lie would go into the lobby and dodge the vote.. Or he might adopt as his advice this from the Indianapolis Sentinel: "The Democratic party, true to its -tradition, declares uncompromising hostility to sumptuary legislation and to the proposed prohibitory amendment. This done, the whole subject is remanded to the people, to be voted upon as opportunities offer, and 'as their judgment may dictate."

After giving in plain terms the Re publican position, which simply favors the submission of the whole question to the people, lie goes on to show con clusively that the question is not one of party—neither in its origin, as shown by tho Legislative records, nor in its present aspect, as shown by the vast number of Democrats who forsake their party faith to join the Republican ranks.

He makes a strong point in discuss ing the words of the Democratic platform on this question where the Re publican party is branded as the "enemy of liberty." He says:

From the conjunction of these resolutions "I suppose the "enemy of liberty" here referred to must be the.

Republican

party. What a prosecutor, and what a charge! A Liquor Dealers' Association arraigning the Republican party as the enemy of liberty! Eight million hands unfettered by this "enemy of liberty," over the protest, and over the armed reslstence of Democrats, are lifted in amazement. Such accusations will have no power over the minds of those whose political relations are intended to be affected by them. Those adopted citizens of our country who have voted and fought for us from Kansas to Appomattox will not be persuaded that the Republican party has become the "enemy off liberty," because. It Insists that the people of Indiana have a right to amend the Constitution if a majority so desire, and that a popular vote is the only fair way to settle that question. The enemy of liberty" never consents to subnilt his appeal to a popular vote and to abide the result. You may tell him by that infallible sign.

In summing uptime Republican position on tke tariff' the Senator admir-, ably and tersely says

Promptly ou regaining ajijtryl of Con-j gress the Republicans set about the work of a revision of the tariff. It was believed that the work could be more safely and intelligently done by constituting a commission of experts to consider the subject, hear evidence and report to tho noxt je.essjon of Congross their conclusions. ThJ« pl#H was proposed in the last Congress by Senator Eijton, a Democrat, and was supported In this Congress by many Democrats, among whom wjis Mr. Voorhees. He not only voted for the bill, but defended It, in an elaborate speech. I shall not enter lnko any /Jefenseof that measure here It can not' be roatle an issue in this campaign much as Mr, McDonald might liko to make it so, for Mr. Voorhees supported it, and the convention has Indorsed him as a "faithful representative." Tho report of the commission must, under the law, bo presented at an early hour next session, and we may hope before the session closes to see a low enacted that, while wisely protecting our home industries, shall correct many evils and anomalies in the present tariff system. Mr. Voorhees being th.o Judge, the Republicans In one session have doae more for revenue reform than the Democrats dl/J In six.

It is impossible in a short speech to do full justice to the broad and Catholic spirit that Senator Harrison displays ih his key note. The style of his oratory is solid and logical, but goes direct to the point, and in no instance does it hit the bull's eye better than in the following: "Hundreds of letters from Indiana sol-

dlers, some from sick beds, some written

A CHAPTER OF HI8T0BT. In his speech on Tuesday at Indianapolis,the Hon. S. J.Peelle made use of !, nil «4s» the following language:

In all this progress we have encountered opposition from the Democratic party. I don't know a single measure that party has ever brought forward that It Is proud of. Slavery was its idol. That nefarious principle has been swept away. Have they adopted anything in its place? They have the principle of free trade, which so nearly bankrupted the nation once. Senator Voorhees last night declared himself In favor of protection resulting from a revenue tariff. Iam not willing to rest there. I am for a tariff for. the protection of American industry and 'American labor. For six years the Democrats had control of ^Congress. What measure did they bring forward for the public good? Not a single dollar of taxation did they remove. We found twenty-nine millions of deficiencies in the appropriations, and the Republican party was forced to make it up. They made Insufficient appropriations, and the next Congress had to make it good. They build for the presenVaud when the campaign is over, their platform sinks out of sight, and I don't blame them for letting it sfhk.

While the coantry is familiar enough with the demagogical arjd sycophantic attempts at reform made by the Democratic party, we don't remember to have seen- within recent moons a better and clearer expose of the hypocrisy at the bottom of their pretensions than can be found in the above brief remarks. The Democratic party, as' indicated by the Voorhees key-note, and as heard ih the feebler key-notes in all directions, screams for tariff reform. It screamed just as loudly in 1874, and yet when the Dem ocracy obtained control of the House not one single act indicated the sincerity of their purposes. For nearly seven years they had absolute control of the House, and for two years of this time, absolute control of Congress, and the sum total of their revenue reforms (the tariff' was not touched) amounted to a decrease of 33 1-3 per cent on manufactured tobacco.. Observe this clarion note of a great reform organization! Taking thems"!'"on their own iirJ ground, and admitting their, socalled championship of the poor man in his struggles against protection there is their record for seven lon£ years. And what was the outcome of. it? Simply this: The poor man, wlio, for the sake of argument, wc will admit considers tobacco a necessity of life, pays precisely the same money for precisely the same amount of tobacco lie did before the tax was removed, .and the entire benefits of the reduction accrue to the manufacturer himself. This is known and confessed at the Treasury Department.

Again, Mr. Peelle says that the Republican party found nearly thirty millions of deficiency on returning to power. It was bequeathed by their Democratic friends. Whiit was to be done with it In their pie-bajd spasms of reform the Democracy liad crippled almost to impotency the various departments of the Government. Their active and working efficiency was well nigh bed-ridden. They had effected a financial cure, but the patient had died under the operation. There was nothing to be done but qome to the rescue—assume the indebtedness which a gang of hypocrites had allowed to go to protest in the bank of our national honor. This load the Republican party is made to carry in the flaming schedule of expense displayed at the head of Democratic journals. But it is prepared to do even that, for the country is so disgusted at the experiment of entrusting the Government to a lot of pliarasaical skinflints that it is willing to assume the expense needed to make the Government respectable enough to appear in good society. j--

The Star Route trial is closely related to tl^Q scriptural grasshopper—it become* a burden. Ii

In Brooklyn, the other day, a woman was arrested for cruelty to animals. She had fastened a tin'can over the nose of a young calf so that It could not draw Its natural nourishment from its mother, She was flhed 85 and costs. Her patent, would prove popular In certain cheap boarding houses.

Kev. Spofford A. Brooke has become a teetotaller.

He thinks there are too many "tipplers among the American clergy.

It is announced from Scotland that the "Scotch Church Assembly" banlshed.this year fcpirltous liquors- frqm Its. "refreshment bar," "and progress," says the New York Independent, "in nigh temperance principles was evident In the Free aud United Assemblies." There was a time when to have abolished spirituous liquors from church refreshment tables might have been reported as progress In this .country along time ago.

At the first opportunity In the House of Commons Sir AVilfrid Lawson will move "that in view of the great and grievoas evils which the nation suffers from the liquor traflic, this House is of the op'lnion that the power,of removing the cause of these evils, by some cflicicnt measure of local option, as recommended by the res. olutioils of tills House of June 18th, 1880, should be entrusted to local communities at the earliest practicable opportunity." 'Mrs. J. E. Foster, when she recently passed through Washington, was received with a perfect ovation1at Masonic Tom pie. She attended the National camp meeting, July 19th to 23rd,~ leading the children's services and delivering two addresses. Mrs. Foster's efforts for prohibition In Iowa are enthusiastically recognized everywhere by prohibition sympathizers. A minister writes us he has named his Infant daughter Jane Elleu, for Mrs. Foster, out of respect for tliht lady's good work In the new Prohibition State.

Peculiarities of the Magnetic Healing Art. San Francisco Exchange.

A curious case was on trial in Stock ton a few days ago. A "magnetic healer" brought suit against a lady to recover ten dollars for services rendered her daughter. The defendant's answer was that tlie plaintiff is a person who professes to treat and cure all diseases permanently, without the use of medicine, by manipulating and rubbing. The plaintiff had the mghter of defendant in his treatment, prescribing medicine for her, and at the same time rubbing her legs. And in their manipulation the plaintiff behaved so indecently and vulgarly that the daughter could no longer submit to be under his treatment. The "healer" testified that he treated his patients by supplying vital force through the aid of animal magnetism, and that he had magnetized the young lady in the presenceof her mother, but had not received his fees in full. And now we come to the.old lady's idea of what constituted the indecency and vulgarity on the doctor's part. She testified that the liealer treated' her daughter for a pain in her back,but before he got through he rubbed her all over. Three days beforeshe left, when the healer was about through with his treatment, she said that he was rubbing her legs from the knees down, and he picked up her leg, and, slapping it Avith his hand, said: "When the Lord made your legs, lie did not forget to make enough of them." This pleasant compliment constituted the main grievance. Moreover, the defendant said, the l.ealer, when rubbing his patient, used to whisper things to her which brought the bluslf to the fair invalid's cheeks. The rubbing was performed, according to the evidence in the case, from the knees down. There was also backrubbing, but no allusion was made by the healer to any generosity of the Almighty in building up in that direction, the legs monopolizing all his admiration.

We wish to" draw the attention of the reader to a few facts which we will afterwards confirm by the most unimpeachable testimony. First, it,is a fact that in this everchanging climate we are one and all exposed to sudden heat and cold, bringing on chills, coughs and-colds, which in their, tuui produce Asthma, Bronchitis, Ulcerated Sore Throat or Consumption.It is a fact that Rheumatism is getting more prevalent every day, and has become chronic with many sufferers. It ia a fact that Neuralgia renders the existence of many tlionsands a life of martyrdom. It is a fact that Catarrh has horrors that no one can form any conception of, except those who suffer. It is a fact that Croup carries more children to the grave than any other infantile disease. It is a fact that we are all liable to accidents, and may get hurt or cut, burned, scalded or bruised, however careful we may be and it is a fact that wc are at all times subject to organic derangements of a serious nature, which too often terminate fatally. These are facts which bear no dispute. But the next fact is one of serious importance to tlie public, for every one should know it. It is this, thai •"•». .'«• '.-j! "j

Thomas' Eclectric Oil

is a positive, reliable and certain cure for all the ailments enumerated, as well as for many others incident to the constitution, such as Stiff' Joints, Swelled Neck, Sprains, Chapped Hands, Lame Back, Blind and Bleeding Piles? Chilblains, Frosted Feet, Pains in the Back or any part of the system. In fact, it is a remedy that stands paramount above all others. It is equally effective externally or internally, and all who have ever used it are never without it.

These are facts which afe'iiroveiJ by the following testimony, which y/t challenge the world to contradict:

A Baptist Minister's Experience..^ I am a Baptist minister, and before 1 ever thought of being aclergyman, I graduated in medicine, Diit left a lucrative practice for my profession, forty yeura ago. I was for many yenrs a sufferer front quinsy:—"Thomas' Eclectric Oil cured me." I was also troubled with hoarseness, and Thomas' Eclectric Oil always relieved me. My wife and child had dluhtJ^eria and "Thomas Eclectric Ofl cured them," and if taken In time it will cure seven times out of ten. I am confident it Is a cure for the most obstinate cold, and if any one will take a small teaspoon and half ull It with the Oil, and then place the end of the spoon Into the head by snlfllng as hard as they can, until the Oil falls into the throat, and practice that twice a week, I don't care how otfenslve their head may be, It will clean It out and cure their catarrh. For deafness and earache it has dono wonders to my' certain knowledge. It is the only medicine dubbed patent medicine that I have ever felt like recommending, and I am very anxious to see It in eve"ry place, for I tell you that I would not be without It forany consideration. I am now suffering with a pain like rheumatism In my right limb, and nothing relieves me like Thomas' Eclectric Oil.

To tlie proprietors of Thomas' Electrie Oil:

Gents—Last

March I took a severe cold,

and,, being negligent in doctoring It, brought the Astlimn 011 me very severe. I could not not lie down or sleep for wheezing and shortness of breath. I took this thing and that, and tried different doctors, but found 110 relief. Six months ago I saw an advertisement in the japers recommending Dr. Thoina'o Kclec,ric Oil, so I thought I would try that, and wonderful to relate, yet nevertheless true, the flrst doso I took relieved me In a few minutes,and before I had taken onefourth of a 50-cent bottle I could breathe freely and sleep as well as ever. It Is as magical for cuts, bruises, burns and rheumatism. I woke up a few mornings since with such a pain In my chest, that I could not draw along breath, My wife said, "rub on Thomas' Eclectrue Oil." 1 did so, and in a few minutes the pain was gono, and I have not felt it since. My wife, also, had a severe attack of rheumatism in the arm and sido. She applied the oil with: the same result. I would not be without it If had to walk ten miles for it, and then ay S5 for a 50 cent bottle. 1 send you .his testimonial hoping you will publish it, so that suffering liumunltymay.be relieved of their aches and palus.

Yours respectfully,
